2. Identify the characteristics of Shakespearean comedy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Answer.: Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of his most popular and enduring comedic plays. As with most Elizabethan comedies, this play is a light- hearted romp through many types of humor, all ending happily in the final scene. Also common to this era, comedy is centered on marriage and relationships, and a happy ending means uniting the courting couples.
High comedy can also be called situational comedy, in which the source of humor is the situation of mistaken identity or miscommunication. Low comedy involves silliness, inappropriateness, and sometimes references that can be taken as vulgar or sexual. Slapstick is physical humor: action rather than dialogue. Shakespearean comedy is the fast-paced, witty banter we see in all of Shakespeare's comedic plays: clever dialogue and play-on-words, often delivered in a dramatic manner.
